Former staffers of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential campaign have launched a new super political action committee (PAC) in an effort to push the former Independent candidate’s ideas regarding health policies through the election of Republican nominee former President Donald Trump.
The Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) Super PAC is run by approximately one dozen ex-staffers of Kennedy’s now-suspended campaign.
On August 23, Kennedy announced the suspension to his presidential campaign and that he would be endorsing former President Trump in the race moving forward.
At the time he announced the suspension of his campaign, Kennedy encouraged his supporters in reliably Democratic or Republican states to vote for him in the November 5 general elections.
However, last week, Kennedy changed his tune, writing in a message to his campaign’s email list, “No matter what state you live in, I urge you to vote for Donald Trump.”

The MAHA Super PAC is echoing Kennedy’s message to his supporters to vote for Trump in the November 5 election.
“This is what we need to do to get Mr. Kennedy over the finish line and to go and do this with the same energy that our volunteers and supporters were using to get Mr. Kennedy in the White House. Now they need to take that energy and refocus it into getting Mr. Kennedy a seat at the table at the White House with a unity ticket with Donald Trump,” said Jeff Hutt, a spokesman for the PAC who was also Kennedy’s national field director.
The PAC describes itself as a “bridge” that “connects RFK Jr.’s vision for a healthier America with Trump’s leadership, creating a united front to make America not only great but healthy again.”
The primary focus of the PAC is reaching voters both in swing states where Kennedy is unable to get his name off the ballot and blue states where it “believes it has significant enough volunteers and polling support to help Trump.”
Virginia and New Hampshire are among the top targets of the PAC.
The key issues and policy priorities pushed by the MAHA Super PAC include: The Chronic Disease Epidemic; Regenerative Agriculture; Habitat Preservation; Combatting Corporate Corruption; and Removing Toxins from the Environment.
“President Trump has shown that he can stand up to the corporate interests that have poisoned our environment and compromised our health. He is the leader we need to take on the establishment and put America back on the path to health and freedom,” Kennedy said at the time of endorsing Trump.
